[00:08.580]Sally called when she got the word
[00:13.030]And she said I suppose you've heard
[00:19.840]About Alice
[00:23.610]When I rushed to the window
[00:25.670]And I looked outside
[00:28.230]And I could hardly believe my eyes
[00:32.000]As a big limousine rolled up
[00:35.510]Into Alice's drive
[00:38.960]Oh I don't know why she's leaving
[00:41.200]Or where she's gonna go
[00:43.090]I guess she's got her reasons
[00:44.840]But I just don't want to know
[00:46.870]'Cos for twenty-four years
[00:48.710]I've been living next door to Alice
[00:54.630]Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
[00:58.520]To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
[01:02.160]Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice
[01:10.350]We grew up together
[01:12.440]Two kids in the park
[01:14.770]We carved our initials
[01:16.250]Deep in the bark
[01:21.580]Me and Alice
[01:25.340]Now she walks through the door
[01:27.590]With her head held high
[01:29.790]Just for a moment I caught her eye
[01:33.470]As a big limousine pulled slowly
[01:36.730]Out of Alice's drive
[01:40.230]Oh I don't know why she's leaving
[01:42.360]Or where she's gonna go
[01:44.240]I guess she's got her reasons
[01:46.080]But I just don't want to know
[01:47.980]'Cos for twenty-four years
[01:49.840]I've been living next door to Alice
[01:55.910]Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
[01:59.470]To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
[02:03.100]Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
[02:11.490]And sally called back and asked how I felt
[02:15.770]And she said I know how to help
[02:22.210]Get over Alice
[02:25.670]She said now Alice is gone
[02:28.320]But I'm still here
[02:30.200]You know I've been waiting
[02:32.000]For twenty-four years
[02:35.690]And a big limousine dissapeared
[02:39.930]I don't know why she's leaving
[02:41.620]Or where she's gonna go
[02:43.550]I guess she's got her reasons
[02:45.290]But I just don't want to know
[02:47.290]'Cos for twenty-four years
[02:48.860]I've been living next door to Alice
[02:54.980]Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
[02:58.780]To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
[03:02.240]But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
[03:09.850]Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
